Or "Vashon" or "Whidbey", or "Fidlago", or "Orcas" or any of the other 
numerous islands in the Puget Sound.  Greetings from the opposite shore 
of the Hood Canal, John!

Overwrites the logfile each time it's run. You need to write it like so:

    open TEST, ">>Bainbridge:Desktop Folder:test.log" or die "Oops $!";

If you want to append to the logfile.  Kinda "d'oh" obvious, but I 
couldn't simply waste this msg on a simply "hi-howdy" to John, only (30? 
50?  Not quite sure... miles away by road.).  Pro'lly the only two people 
on the list who know where "Bainbridge" is (other than the volume on 
John's Mac).

Or maybe Creed Lambard might know...
